CALENDULA OFFICINALIS [Marigold]
The radiant marigold, CALENDULA OFFICINALIS is both a well-known decorative flower and age-old herbal medicinal well-known for its CLEANSING, STRENGTHENING, SOOTHING and HEALING action.
CALENDULA is one a key remedy found in any Homeopathic First Aid Kit, given its capacity to treat ailments including INFECTION, ACCIDENT and INJURY. It is understandable that one might assume these to denote the extent of its capabilities however, as a homeopathic and particularly when we consider the potency we are using (or rather the depth that we are addressing) CALENDULA is revealed as a remedy that can bring its “sunlight filled energy” into the very core of one’s being.
This is a remedy for those TRAUMATISED. The originating WOUNDING and even FRIGHT, often extending back in to one’s past including ANCESTRALLY - entangled with GRIEF and DEPRESSION. There are likely not the words or even the MEMORIES that can be called on to determine the origins of this state however we are able to ascertain the CALENDULA picture in a person compelled by ANTICIPATORY ANXIETIES, replete with NERVOUSNESS, DREAD and a CHRONIC FEAR THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN.
There may be deep AGITATION, the INABILITY TO SIT STILL with an EDGY quality prone to EASY STARTLING and the tendency to PANIC. This person can be SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE ENERGY OF OTHERS and is easily ADRENALISED by the TOXICITY and INFECTIVE quality around them - all of which further perpetuates their sense of HURRY, IRRITABILITY and fundamentally, the STATE-OF-CHAOS that they can ultiamtely exist in.
CALENDULA comes with distinct symptom presentations expressed through the physical processes of the body. There is in general an AGGRAVATION FROM COLD AIR, the DAMP and even CLOUDY WEATHER, it after all being a flower that embodies the radiance of the sun.
CALENDULA encourages the healthy CIRCULATION of the BLOOD and LYMPH with indications that may vary from UNRESOLVED INFECTIONS to SWOLLEN GLANDS, VISUAL DISTURBANCES to LIVER COMPLAINTS.
CALENDULA is indicated in KIDNEY and URINARY CONDITIONS including the DIFFICULTY TO PASS URINE and GOUT. This is a remedy where there is INFLAMMATION and general OVERSENSITIVITY whether that is to the SUN, MICROWAVE RADIATION or the body’s over responsiveness to BITES and STINGS.
A preventative for the hardening of SCARS and a formative remedy in BENIGN TUMOURS and CANCERS, CALENDULA is an established PURIFYING remedy with comprehensive reach.
